As Toni tried to make sense of the new information, his phone rang again. It was Tommy, calling to check in.
"Hey, Tommy," Toni said, answering the phone. "Thanks for sending over that information. It's been really helpful."
"I'm glad I could help," Tommy replied. "Is there anything else you need?"
"Well, there might be," Toni said, hesitating for a moment. "Do you happen to have a number for the Angio family or the orphanage they run?"
Tommy paused for a moment, then replied, "Actually, I do. One of my sources gave it to me a while back. Why do you ask?"
"I think I need to speak to the CEO of the orphanage," Toni said, his mind made up. "I want to know more about General Kaizo's background and what kind of family he came from."
Tommy didn't question Toni's decision, knowing that he was a skilled investigator who always followed his instincts. "I'll text you the number right away," he said.
"Thanks, Tommy," Toni said, feeling grateful for his friend's support. "I'll let you know how it goes."
With that, Toni hung up the phone and dialed the number that Tommy had sent him. After a few rings, a woman answered the phone, introducing herself as the CEO of the Angio Family Orphanage. And so began Toni's journey to uncover the truth about General Kaizo's past, and to find out what secrets lay hidden behind the man's enigmatic facade.
Toni introduced himself to the CEO of the Angio Family Orphanage and explained that he was interested in learning more about the organization and its work with war orphans. The CEO, who was over 78 years old, seemed surprised by Toni's call.
"Why do you want to know about the orphanage?" she asked, her voice frail but steady.
"I'm a private citizen who's interested in sponsoring some of the programs you have in place," Toni replied smoothly, knowing that he needed to be careful not to reveal too much too soon.
The CEO seemed to buy his explanation, and she began to talk more about the orphanage and its history. As they talked, Toni gradually shifted the conversation towards General Kaizo.
"I heard that A boy named Kaizo came from this area," he said, hoping to sound casual. "Do you know anything about him?"
The CEO hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I remember , do you mean little kai ?
Toni said , little kai?.
She said , yh him and his brother's names were really uncommon so you can't forget stuff like that.
Toni felt a surge of excitement. This was exactly the kind of information he had been looking for. "Can you tell me more about them?" he asked, trying to sound interested but not too pushy.
Well, I remember his younger brother Eizo. He was a troubled child, always getting into trouble and causing problems for the other children. Kaizo was always trying to help him, but Eizo never seemed to appreciate it."
"That's interesting," Toni said, his curiosity piqued. "Can you tell me more?"
The CEO went on to describe how Kaizo had always been a joy to be around, always smiling and eager to help others. But his brother Eizo(Eizo is pronounced as "E-I-zoh." It's a three-syllable word:
"E" sounds like the letter "E" in English.
"I" sounds like the letter "I" in English.
"zo" sounds like "zoh," with the "z" like the letter "Z" and the "o" like the vowel sound in "open" or "note."
So, "E-I-zoh" is the shorter pronunciation of Eizo. Remember to stress the "E" and "I" syllables slightly more than the "zo" syllable. )was a different story. He was sullen and distant, and he seemed to take advantage of Kaizo's kindness at every turn.
"It was heartbreaking to watch," the CEO said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Kaizo was such a sweet child, and he deserved so much better than what life had dealt him."
Toni listened carefully to the CEO's words, feeling a growing sense of sympathy for General Kaizo. It was clear that the man had endured a difficult childhood, one marked by loss and hardship.
